Probably I am not the biggest fan of Keith Jarrett in the world though I have sixty something of his records. And I guess I am neither the greatest living lover of Joni Mitchell's music though I have all her albums except the last one which was a sad orchestrated affair of strings recycling old songs. There are always people who are crazier for artists than me.

But I must be the ultimate fan of both of them at the same time. They are my two favourite musicians ever. What a surprise to read in the Joni Mitchell chapter of Konrad Heidkamp's book Sophisticated Ladies that Keith Jarrett apparently played one of her songs. All I Want from Blue. On The Mourning of a Star, the only early (from 1971 like Blue) Jarrett album I haven't got I think. All I Want without the gorgeous lyrics ("I am on a lonely road and I am traveling...") in the hands of the greatest solo pianist of the world. How did he do it? I am extremely curious. I had to order the cd a minute ago.
